Setting options and printing from Windows computers

To print from Windows computers, select and install the corresponding Adobe or

Microsoft PostScript printer driver. For Windows 9x/Me/NT, the drivers are included

on the Printer Unit-C1 User Software CD. For Windows 2000/XP, the PPD files are

included on the Printer Unit-C1 User Software CD. Windows 2000/XP users should

use the Microsoft PostScript Printer Driver provided with those operating systems.

Once the Adobe or Microsoft PostScript printer driver and printer description file

(PPD) are installed, you can specify print settings for a particular job and print it to the

Printer Unit-C1. You can also set default print settings using the driver.

To print from Windows applications by connecting your computer to a print server via

the network, a Novell NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, or UNIX server is required. For

more information, see the Configuration Guide.

To print from Windows applications without connecting to a print server,

you can use Server Message Block (SMB) printing. For more information, see the

User Software Installation Guide.

The following procedures explain how to use the driver to specify print options.

For information about specific print options, seeAppendix A.

NOTE: The following procedures use Windows 98 illustrations.

(for example, collation or Reverse Order). In these cases, use the driver option to

perform the function, rather than setting it from the application. The application

might not set up the file properly for printing on the Printer Unit-C1, which might

cause an unexpected printing error, and might also take longer to process.

3You can print to the Printer Unit-C1 directly from UNIX workstations. Jobs printed

to the Printer Unit-C1 are sent to the Print or Hold queues and can be manipulated

from Command WorkStation, or from Windows and Mac OS computers on the

network using Fiery WebSpooler or Fiery Spooler.

NOTE: If you print to the Hold queue, an operator must intervene from CommandWorkStation, Fiery Spooler, or Fiery WebSpooler for the job to print; jobs sent to the

Hold queue are spooled to disk and held.

For more information on using Command WorkStation, Fiery Spooler, or

Fiery WebSpooler, see theJob Management Guide.

The queue name and Printer Unit-C1 printer name are determined by your systemadministrator. Contact your system administrator for the names of your queues.

For information about setting up printing from TCP/IP, see your UNIX system

documentation.

Printing to the Printer Unit-C1You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript and text files to the Printer Unit-C1.

In general, use basic print commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) to send print jobs to the Printer

Unit-C1. For information about UNIX commands, see the UNIX manual pages or

other documentation.

NOTE: Only PostScript and ASCII text files can be printed from UNIX.

For example, if the Print queue of your Printer Unit-C1 is named print_Server, type:

lpq -Pprint_Server

Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.

On a system running Solaris 9 or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the lpstat

command to see printer jobs in the queue, as follows:

lpstat -o

For example, if the Print queue of your Printer Unit-C1 is named print_Server, type:

lpstat -o print_Server

Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.

Managing printer fontsThe Printer Unit-C1 includes 136; for a complete list, seeAppendix B. In addition,

two Adobe Multiple Master fonts are included and used for font substitution in

PDF files.

Before downloading a file that uses fonts not resident on the Printer Unit-C1, you

must download the fonts (unless the fonts are embedded in the file). To see what fonts

are resident on the Printer Unit-C1, choose Font List from the File menu or click theFont List button (see page 4-11).

You can download fonts only via the Direct connection. If you do not have access to

the Direct connection, you must embed any special fonts used by the file when you

generate it.

The screen fonts that correspond to the printer fonts installed on the Printer Unit-C1are not automatically installed on your Windows system.

Printer fonts and Mac OS screen fonts

Like all PostScript fonts, the fonts included with the Printer Unit-C1 come in two

forms: printer fonts and screen fonts. Install the screen fonts included with the Printer

Unit-C1 user software on your Mac OS computer. If you are using these fonts in

documents you print on a LaserWriter, they are probably already installed. If not, youmust install them. For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide.

Occasionally, you may want to use Adobe Type 1 (Windows) or PostScript (Mac OS)

fonts that are not included with the Printer Unit-C1. If so, you must install both the

screen fonts and the printer fonts on your computer. To do this, follow the instructions

from the font manufacturer.

Downloading printer fonts to the Printer Unit-C1

In general, each time you print from within a Mac OS application, the application

automatically downloads any fonts used in your document that are not already

installed on the Printer Unit-C1, as long as the printer fonts are installed in your

System Folder. These fonts remain in the Printer Unit-C1 only until your document

has printed. If you print the same document again, your application must download

the fonts again.

If you regularly use one or more fonts from Windows or Mac OS applications that are

not already installed in the Printer Unit-C1, you can download them to the Printer

Unit-C1 hard disk with Fiery Downloader. Fonts you download to the Printer

Unit-C1 hard disk remain installed until you remove them using Fiery Downloader,

no matter how many times the Printer Unit-C1 is turned off and on. Consider

downloading fonts you use on a regular basis to the Printer Unit-C1 hard disk.

Before you download PostScript, TIFF, or EPS files with Fiery Downloader, make sure

all fonts included in your file are installed on the Printer Unit-C1 or embedded in your

file; otherwise, the text in these fonts will not print correctly or may not print at all.

For PDF files, font substitution occurs automatically for fonts not installed on the

Printer Unit-C1. Two multiple master fonts (a serif font and a sans serif font) stored on

the Printer Unit-C1 are used exclusively for substitution with PDF files.

55-1 About variable data printing


65/136

This chapter describes the variable data printing features supported by the Printer

Unit-C1, including:

Background information about variable data printing

Printing variable data documents using Fiery FreeForm

About variable data printingVariable data printing is typically used for direct-mail advertising or other targeted

mailings. It involves combining a set of master elements that are common across copies

of a document with a set of variable elements that change from copy to copy. An

example is a brochure that greets customers by name and may include other personal

information about the customer obtained from a marketing database. Background

elements, illustrations, and text blocks that do not change across copies of the brochure

comprise the master elements. The customers name and other customer-specific

information comprise the variable elements.

The Fiery FreeForm feature allows you to use print options to define and store master-

element documentscalled FreeForm masterson the Printer Unit-C1. You can send

a variable-element job to the Printer Unit-C1 with instructions to combine the job

with a particular Fiery FreeForm master.

When printing variable data, you cannot use Optimize PowerPoint. For more

information, seeAppendix A.

Chapter 5:PrintingVariable DataDocuments

66/136

Printing variable data documents with Fiery FreeFormIn Fiery FreeForm variable data printing, you can use print options to define master

documents and assign them to variable data jobs sent to the Printer Unit-C1.

How Fiery FreeForm works

The basic premise of Fiery FreeForm variable data printing is that the master-element

data for the job can be sent to the Printer Unit-C1 and rasterized separately from the

variable-element data. The master-element data is stored on the Printer Unit-C1 inrasterized form as a FreeForm master, and can be used as often as needed with multiple

sets of variable-element data. Because the FreeForm master job is preRIPped and

stored on the Printer Unit-C1, the only RIP time required for variable data print jobs

is the time needed to RIP the variable-element data. You can use FreeForm masters for

any fixed-element data you might combine with different data from day to day. For

example, a letterhead template can be stored as a FreeForm master and used repeatedly

as the background for different letter content (the variable-element data).

Fiery FreeForm allows you to create the master and variable documents using any

application. You can create the two documents using different applications or

computer platforms. To create the masters document, you can use a page layout or

graphics application. To create the variable document, you can use a word processing

application that has a mail merge feature, a page layout application that supports

scripting, or a database application.

FreeForm functions are controlled with two print options: Create Master and Use

Master. You can set these options in the printer driver when you send a job, or instruct

the operator to set them with job overrides from Command WorkStation, Fiery

Spooler, or Fiery WebSpooler. You can also use Command WorkStation to monitor

and manage all the FreeForm masters stored on the Printer Unit-C1. For more

information, see theJob Management Guide.

67/136

Creating the master document

Before you can use Fiery FreeForm, you must create a master document and a variable

document. This includes creating the layout for the combined document, as well as the

elements themselves. In a page layout or graphics program, you arrange the master

elements (text and graphics that do not change) on one or more pages, leaving space

for the variable elements.

When you have finalized the design of the master document, print it to the Printer

Unit-C1 and specify that a FreeForm master be created from the job (see page 5-8).

NOTE: Although the Printer Unit-C1 can store up to 100 FreeForm masters, the printerdriver interface, Fiery WebSpooler, and Fiery Spooler allow you to select numbers 1

through 15 only. To create a FreeForm master with a number greater than 15, the

operator must set the Create Master and Use Master options and RIP the job from

Command WorkStation.

g

You can create the variable document with a word processing application that provides

a mail merge function, a database application, or a page layout application that

supports scripting. In all cases, information is taken from a list or database and merged

into an existing document that is set up to accept the information. Each application

has different controls for this function; for detailed instructions, see the application

documentation.

Before the variable elements can be added to the master document, they must be

formatted to conform to the layout of the master document. To do this, you create a

document with the correct formatting, and then add the variable information in the

appropriate places.

For efficient variable data printing, create a variable document that has significantly

more pages than its corresponding FreeForm master.

When you have created a variable document, print it to the Printer Unit-C1 and

specify that it be combined with the corresponding FreeForm master (see page 5-8).

Combining the FreeForm master with the variable document


69/136

When you print a variable document to the Printer Unit-C1, you specify the FreeForm

master created from your master document with the Use Master print option. The

Printer Unit-C1 combines the raster data of the variable document with the already

RIPped FreeForm master, creating a new raster data file. The merged raster file can be

soft-proofed (before it is printed) in the thumbnail windows of Command

WorkStation, Fiery Spooler, or Fiery WebSpooler.

For more information about soft-proofing and thumbnail windows of Command

WorkStation, see theJob Management Guide.

A master document can include more than one page. When you print a variable

document and specify a FreeForm master that contains multiple pages, the variable

pages are combined with the master pages in a cyclical fashion. The following example

illustrates how a variable document combines with a two-page master document.

Combined document


Pages 1 and 2 of the variable document are combined with Pages 1 and 2, respectively,

of the master document. The cycle of master pages then starts over, and Pages 3 and 4

of the variable document are combined respectively with Pages 1 and 2, again, of the

master document. This pattern continues for each subsequent set of pages in the

variable document.
